Description

Automatic cash handling apparatus, automatic cash handling system, and authentic level setting method

The present invention relates to an automatic cash handling apparatus that handles paper sheets such as banknotes, an automatic cash handling system, and an authenticity level setting method.

Conventionally, the authenticity judgment level of banknotes in an automatic teller machine such as ATM (Automated Tellers Machine) is set so as to be judged according to the same standard regardless of the installation location and the operation form. Normally, when the automatic cash handling apparatus determines that a banknote is a fake banknote, if the banknote is a deposited banknote, the banknote is returned to the user, and if the banknote is a withdrawal banknote, the banknote is rejected. Collected in a cassette.

For this reason, even if the deposited banknote has already been confirmed at another window or the like, there is a situation where it is determined that it is a fake ticket and returned, and the user must reconfirm the returned banknote. In addition, there is a situation in which the reject cassette is filled with a withdrawal bill determined to be a fake bill and the operation of the apparatus is stopped, and an attendant must be dispatched to remove the collected bill. These problems may make smooth system operation and business transactions difficult for automatic cash handling equipment, and may affect customer profits.

As a patent document related to the above technique, for example, there is one shown in Patent Document 1. The purpose of this method is to provide a means to automatically continue transactions even when the reject cassette is full, by setting another storage cassette as a temporary reject cassette when the reject cassette is full. Yes. Moreover, in patent document 2, the user's reliability is judged from a user's account information, and it aims at reducing the discomfort for users, such as rejection of a genuine note, by determining the authenticity judgment level of a banknote. It is said.

Embodiments of an automatic cash handling apparatus, an automatic cash handling system, and an authenticity level setting method according to the present invention will be described below in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. In the following, an explanation will be given of the case where the automatic cash handling system, the automatic cash handling device, and the authenticity level setting method are applied to an automatic cash handling system having an automatic cash handling device such as ATM (Automated Tellers Machine). However, the present invention is not limited to this, and can be applied in the same manner as long as it includes a function for determining the authenticity level of paper sheets (for example, securities, bills for gaming machines, etc.).

FIG. 1 is a diagram showing an overall configuration of an automatic cash handling system 1000 in the present embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the automatic cash handling system 1000 includes an automatic cash handling device 100 and a host device 200, which are connected to each other via a communication line N. Note that the communication line N is, for example, a private network of a company that handles cash, such as a bank, or an external dedicated line or general line between a store where a cash handling apparatus is installed and a center where a host device is installed. It is a line network.

As will be described later, the automatic teller machine 100 transmits transaction data to the host device 200 at a predetermined timing, receives the authenticity determination level determined by the host device 200, and automatically receives the received authenticity determination level. Set in the device. The host device 200 is a device that manages the automatic cash handling device 100, analyzes the contents of the transaction data received from the automatic cash handling device 100, and needs to set the authentication level for the automatic cash handling device 100. If it is determined whether or not the setting is necessary, the authenticity determination level for the automatic cash handling apparatus 100 is determined.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the configuration of the host device 200. As shown in FIG. 2, the host device 200 includes a memory 210, a hard disk 220, a control unit 230, and a communication unit 240.

The memory 210 includes a storage medium such as a RAM (Random Access Memory), and a memory map 211 is mounted therein. The memory map 211 includes a deposit bill acceptance rate 2111, a withdrawal bill acceptance rate 2112, a deposit rejection factor 2113, a withdrawal rejection factor 2114, a deposit bill acceptance target rate 2115, and a withdrawal bill acceptance target rate 2116. The deposit authenticity determination level 2117 and the withdrawal authenticity determination level 2118 are stored.

The deposited banknote acceptance rate 2111 is information indicating the acceptance rate of banknotes in the deposit transaction. The withdrawal bill acceptance rate 2112 is information indicating the acceptance rate of bills in the withdrawal transaction. The deposit rejection factor 2113 is information indicating a factor when a banknote is rejected in a deposit transaction. The withdrawal rejection factor 2114 is information indicating a factor when a banknote is rejected in the withdrawal transaction. The received banknote acceptance target rate 2115 is information indicating the target value of the banknote acceptance rate in the deposit transaction. The withdrawal bill acceptance target rate 2116 is information indicating the target value of the acceptance rate of bills in the withdrawal transaction. The deposit authenticity determination level 2117 is information indicating a criterion for determining the authenticity of the banknote in the deposit transaction newly set in the authenticity level resetting process (described later). The withdrawal authenticity determination level 2118 is information indicating a criterion for determining the authenticity of the banknote in the withdrawal transaction newly set in the authenticity level resetting process. A specific method for setting these values will be described later. Next, the hard disk 220 will be described.

The hard disk 220 includes a storage device such as an HDD (Hard Disk Drive), and includes transaction data 212, a current authenticity determination level correspondence table 213, a banknote acceptance target rate correspondence table 214, and a new authenticity determination level correspondence table 215. Remember.

Transaction data 212 is data relating to transactions performed in the automatic cash handling apparatus 100. The transaction data 212 is data that the host device 200 acquires from the automatic cash handling apparatus 100 at a predetermined timing (for example, once a day, once a week, etc.). In the transaction data 212, the transaction date, transaction details such as deposits and withdrawals performed by the user in the automatic cash handling apparatus 100, the number of banknotes handled in the transaction, among them are determined to be genuine. The number of banknotes, the number of banknotes determined to be counterfeit, the factors determined to be counterfeit, and the like are recorded.

FIG. 3 is a diagram illustrating an example of the transaction data described above. As shown in FIG. 3, the transaction data includes a transaction date indicating a transaction date, a transaction type indicating the transaction type, a transaction amount of banknotes in the transaction, and a breakdown number indicating a breakdown of the banknotes traded. This is data in which a determination result indicating the true / false result of a banknote in the automatic cash handling apparatus 100 is associated with a determination factor indicating a factor when the banknote is determined to be a counterfeit.

In the example shown in FIG. 3, five “10,000 yen bills (total of 50,000 yen)” were deposited on “November 1, 2011”, and all the bills were genuine. Similarly, two 5,000 yen bills (10,000 yen in total) were withdrawn on “November 5, 2011”, both of which are genuine bills, “November 10, 2011” Three pieces of 10,000 yen bills (a total of 30,000 yen) are deposited, two of which are judged to be genuine, one is judged to be a fake ticket, and the reason for the judgment to be a fake ticket is due to an abnormal magnetic pattern It was shown that it was due to. Next, returning to FIG. 2, the current authenticity determination level correspondence table 213 will be described.

The current authenticity determination level correspondence table 213 is a table for setting the authenticity determination level for each operation mode and transaction type of the automatic teller machine 1 at the present time. FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating a specific configuration example of the current authenticity determination level correspondence table 213. As shown in FIG. 4, the current authenticity determination level correspondence table 213 includes an operation form 2131 of the automatic teller machine 100 and a received authenticity determination indicating a current authenticity determination level in a deposit transaction performed by the automatic teller machine 1. A level 2132 and a withdrawal current authenticity determination level 2133 indicating the current authenticity determination level in the withdrawal transaction performed in the automatic teller machine 1 are stored in association with each other.

In the example shown in FIG. 4, the current automated teller machine 1 performs “recycling” for depositing and withdrawing banknotes as in normal transactions, and “dedicated for depositing” in which only banknotes are deposited as in the settlement of sales. In the “recycle” mode, the authenticity judgment level is set to “L1” in the case of a deposit transaction, and the authenticity judgment level is set to “L3” in the case of a withdrawal transaction. Indicates that it is set. Similarly, in the “deposit only” mode, the authenticity determination level is set to “L2” in the case of a deposit transaction, and the authenticity determination level is not set in the case of a withdrawal transaction. A specific method for setting these values will be described later using a flowchart. Note that whether the device is operating in the “recycle” mode or the “deposit only” mode is stored in the memory 210 in advance. Next, returning to FIG. 2, the bill acceptance target rate correspondence table 214 will be described.

The banknote acceptance target rate correspondence table 214 is a table for setting a ratio for normally accepting banknotes for each operation mode and transaction type of the automatic teller machine 100 at the present time. FIG. 5 is a diagram showing a specific configuration example of the banknote acceptance target rate correspondence table 214. As shown in FIG. 5, the banknote acceptance target rate correspondence table 214 indicates a target ratio for normally accepting banknotes in the operation form 2141 of the automatic teller machine 100 and the deposit transaction performed by the automatic teller machine 1. A deposited banknote acceptance target rate 2142 and a withdrawal banknote acceptance target rate 2143 indicating a target ratio for normally accepting banknotes in the withdrawal transaction performed by the automatic teller machine 1 are stored in association with each other.

In the example shown in FIG. 5, the current automatic teller machine 1 is operated in two modes (modes) “recycle” and “deposit only” as in the case shown in FIG. 4. In the case of a deposit transaction, the bill acceptance target rate is set to “P0” (for example, 80%), and in the case of a withdrawal transaction, the bill acceptance target rate is set to “P1” (for example, 90%). It shows that. Similarly, in the “deposit only” mode, the banknote acceptance target rate is set to “P2” (for example, 85%) in the case of a deposit transaction, and the banknote acceptance target rate is set in the case of a withdrawal transaction. Indicates that it is not. These values are set in advance by a system administrator or the like. Next, returning to FIG. 2, the new authentication level correspondence table 215 will be described.

The new authenticity determination level correspondence table 215 is a table for setting a reference for rejecting a banknote for each type of factor determined as reject and for each type of transaction. FIG. 6 is a diagram showing a specific configuration example of the new authenticity determination level correspondence table 215. As shown in FIG. 6, the new authenticity determination level correspondence table 215 includes a reject determination factor 2151 indicating a factor that determines that a banknote is rejected, and a banknote authenticity determination in a deposit transaction newly performed by the cash automatic transaction apparatus 1. A new / authentic payment determination level 2152 indicating a level serving as a reference for the payment, and a new / authentication determination level 2153 indicating a level serving as a reference for determining the authenticity of a banknote in a withdrawal transaction newly performed by the automatic teller machine 1. It is stored in association.

In the example shown in FIG. 6, as factors for rejecting banknotes in the automatic teller machine 1, abnormalities in the outer shape (cases in which different sized banknotes are processed), abnormal thicknesses (the banknotes are transported in a heavy manner) Case), tilt (case in which banknotes are transported in an inclined direction with respect to the transport direction), fold (case in which banknotes are transported in a folded state), dirt (so that banknotes cannot be identified due to dirt) Case) and hole (case where the banknote has a hole and cannot be identified) are registered, and when the rejection judgment factor is “outside shape abnormality”, a new authenticity judgment is made at the time of deposit transaction and withdrawal transaction. It indicates that “L5” is set as the level. Similarly, when the rejection determination factor is “abnormal thickness”, “L4” is set as a new authenticity determination level at the time of deposit transaction and withdrawal transaction, and when the rejection determination factor is “tilt”, “L2” is set as a new authenticity determination level at the time of deposit transaction and withdrawal transaction, and “L3” is set as a new authenticity determination level at the time of deposit transaction and withdrawal transaction when the rejection determination factor is “Fold”. Indicates that it is set. Furthermore, when the rejection determination factor is “dirty”, “L2” is set as a new authenticity determination level at the time of deposit transaction and withdrawal transaction, and when the rejection determination factor is “hole”, at the time of deposit transaction and at the time of withdrawal transaction At the time of gold trading, “L4” is set as a new authenticity determination level.

The authenticity determination level described above is set so that the higher the value is, the higher the likelihood of a true banknote is (the likelihood of a true banknote is high), so the criterion for rejecting a banknote is low (the condition is loose) due to the rejection determination factor. Contrary to this, the lower the value, the lower the true bill-likeness (the likelihood of true bills is low), so the criterion for rejecting bills by the reject determination factor is high (conditions are severe) It means that That is, the higher the value of the authenticity determination level, the higher the likelihood that the bill is a genuine note, which is required in authenticity determination (the higher the numerical value, the falsely the genuine note will be determined to be a false note). Lower the rate).

Therefore, in the example illustrated in FIG. 6, when the authenticity determination level is set to “L3” in the deposit transaction and the withdrawal transaction, “L2” that is lower than the values “L3” and “L3”. Regarding the rejection factors (“tilt”, “fold”, “dirt”) corresponding to, “L2”, which is stricter than “L3”, is originally set as the authenticity judgment level. Absent. However, for the rejection factors (“thickness abnormality”, “hole”, “outside shape abnormality”) corresponding to “L4” and “L5” whose authenticity determination level is higher than “L3”, originally “L3” Since “L4” and “L5” are set as authenticity determination levels, they will be rejected in each transaction. In the example shown in FIG. 6, the above-described six cases are described. However, other factors such as a banknote magnetic pattern abnormality or a banknote serial number pattern abnormality are appropriately set. can do. Next, returning to FIG. 2, the control unit 230 will be described.

The control unit 230 includes an arithmetic device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), and controls each part of the host device 200, and also includes an authenticity determination level determination unit 231 for determining the authenticity determination level of a bill. . The specific operation of the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 will be described later using a flowchart.

The communication unit 240 includes a communication device such as a modem or a NIC (Network Interface Card), and transmits / receives various information between the host device 200 and the automatic cash handling device 100 via the communication line N. Then, the process (authentication determination level resetting process) for resetting the authenticity determination level of the banknote performed in the automatic cash handling system 1000 in this embodiment is demonstrated.

FIG. 7 is a flowchart showing a processing procedure of authenticity determination level resetting processing performed in the automatic cash handling system 1000 in the present embodiment.

As shown in FIG. 7, first, in the host device 200, the authentication level determination unit 231 acquires transaction data as shown in FIG. 3 from the automatic teller machine 100 at a predetermined timing, and stores it in the hard disk 220. The transaction data 212 is stored (step S701).

Then, the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 analyzes the transaction data 212 stored in the hard disk 220, and obtains and obtains the deposit banknote acceptance rate 2111, the withdrawal bill acceptance rate 2112, the deposit rejection factor 2113, and the withdrawal reject factor 2114. The stored value is stored in the memory 210 (step S702).

Specifically, the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 obtains the ratio of the number of banknotes determined to be genuine with respect to the total number of banknotes in all deposit transactions included in the transaction data 212 to be acquired. , The deposit bill acceptance rate 2111 is set. Further, the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 obtains the ratio of the number of banknotes determined to be genuine with respect to the total number of banknotes in all withdrawal transactions included in the transaction data 212 to be acquired. Set to the gold bill acceptance rate 2112.

Similarly to these, the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 has the highest appearance frequency among the factors determined to be counterfeit for the total number of banknotes in all deposit transactions included in the transaction data 212 to be acquired. Is set to the deposit rejection factor 2113. Further, the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 has the highest appearance frequency among the factors determined to be counterfeit with respect to the total number of banknotes in all withdrawal transactions included in the transaction data 212 to be acquired. A factor (of a large number of times) is set as a withdrawal rejection factor 2114.

Thereafter, the authentication determination level determination unit 231 determines whether or not the authentication determination level needs to be reset (step S703). Specifically, the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 first refers to the banknote acceptance target rate correspondence table 214 shown in FIG. 5, and when the operation mode of the automatic cash handling apparatus 100 is “recycle”, the deposit is made. “P0” set as the banknote acceptance target rate 2142 and “P1” set as the withdrawal bill acceptance target rate 2143 are acquired, and these acquired values are respectively set as the deposit bill acceptance target rate 2115 of the memory 210. And the withdrawal bill acceptance target rate 2116.

Then, the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 compares the already-determined deposited banknote acceptance rate 2111 and the deposited banknote acceptance target rate 2115, and obtains the already-determined withdrawal banknote acceptance rate 2112 and the dispensed banknote acceptance target rate 2116. In comparison, it is determined whether or not it is necessary to reset the authenticity determination level in the deposit transaction and the withdrawal transaction. For example, the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 determines that it is necessary to reset the authenticity determination level in the deposit transaction when the deposited banknote acceptance rate 2111 is lower than the deposited banknote acceptance target rate 2115, and the withdrawal banknote acceptance rate 2112. However, when it falls below the withdrawal bill acceptance target rate 2116, it is determined that it is necessary to reset the authenticity determination level in the withdrawal transaction.

If the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 determines that the authenticity determination level needs to be reset, the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 determines a new authenticity determination level in the deposit transaction and the withdrawal transaction (step S704). Specifically, if the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 determines that it is necessary to reset the authenticity determination level, the payment rejection factor 2113 and the new authenticity determination level correspondence table 215 shown in FIG. With reference to the above, the deposit new authenticity determination level 2152 corresponding to the same rejection determination factor 2151 as the deposit rejection factor 2113 is acquired and stored in the deposit authenticity determination level 2117 of the memory 210. Further, for the withdrawal transaction, the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 refers to the withdrawal rejection factor 2114 and the new authenticity determination level correspondence table 215 illustrated in FIG. 6, and the same rejection determination factor 2151 as the withdrawal rejection factor 2114. The withdrawal new authenticity determination level 2153 corresponding to is acquired and stored in the withdrawal authenticity determination level 2118 of the memory 210.

Thereafter, the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 updates the setting values of the current authenticity determination level correspondence table 213 shown in FIG. 4 to the deposit authenticity determination level 2117 and the withdrawal authenticity determination level 2118 stored in step S703. These authenticity determination levels are transmitted to the automatic cash handling apparatus 100 (step S705).

The automatic teller machine 100 receives the new authenticity determination level from the host device 200, and resets the authenticity determination level in the apparatus to the new authenticity determination level (step S706). Here, the automatic cash transaction apparatus 100 sets a new authenticity determination level. However, the host apparatus 200 may directly access the automatic cash transaction apparatus 100 and set a new authenticity determination level.

As described above, in this embodiment, the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 obtains the deposit bill acceptance rate 2111 and the withdrawal bill acceptance rate 2112 obtained from the operation mode of the automatic cash handling apparatus 100 and the transaction data 212 and reject judgment. When the factor 2151 is acquired and these bill acceptance rates are lower than the preset deposit bill acceptance target rate 2115 and the withdrawal bill acceptance target rate 2116, the reject determination factor 2151 may counterfeit the bill (for example, forgery or alteration). The banknote acceptance rate can be brought close to the target value by resetting the banknote determined to be a genuine note to the target value. As a result, the number of returned banknotes and the withdrawal of banknotes are rejected. It becomes possible to reduce the number of sheets collected in the cassette, and the operating efficiency of the automatic cash handling apparatus can be improved. That is, by automatically setting the optimum authenticity determination level according to the operation mode of the automatic cash handling apparatus 100 and the feature of the banknote (fake ticket determination factor), and controlling the ratio of the counterfeit ticket determination to an acceptable level, The operating efficiency of the automatic cash handling apparatus can be improved and the system can be operated smoothly.

In the present embodiment, in step S702, the deposit rejection factor 2113 and the withdrawal reject factor 2114 are shown as those that store the most frequently occurring factors. However, a new authenticity is obtained from a plurality of frequently occurring factors. It is also possible to reset the determination level. For example, the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 stores the top three most frequently occurring factors in the deposit rejection factor 2113 and the withdrawal reject factor 2114 in step S702, and in step S704, the deposit new authenticity determination level for each reject factor. 2152 and withdrawal new authenticity determination level 2153 are acquired. Then, the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 stores, in the deposit authenticity determination level 2117, the highest authenticity determination level value among the three received new authenticity determination levels 2152, and also the three acquired withdrawals. If the highest authenticity determination value 2153 in the new authenticity determination level 2153 is stored in the withdrawal authenticity determination level 2118, the following processing is performed from a plurality of factors with high appearance frequency according to the procedure described above. It is possible to reset the authentication level.

Further, in the present embodiment, the description has been made on the assumption that the deposit new authenticity determination level 2152 and the withdrawal new authenticity determination level 2153 of the new authenticity determination level correspondence table 215 shown in FIG. 6 are set in advance by an administrator or the like. However, the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 cycles the transaction data 212 acquired in step S701 so that the transaction data 212 is retained for a certain past period, stores the transaction data 212 in the history in the hard disk 220, and is included in the stored past transaction data 212. When the determination factors are aggregated and viewed in time series, if the number of false determinations due to a certain determination factor tends to decrease, the rejection determination factor of the new authenticity determination level correspondence table 215 that is the same as the determination factor The deposit new authenticity determination level 2152 or the withdrawal new authenticity determination level 2153 corresponding to 2151 is collected. It is also possible to change the sea urchin settings. On the contrary, if the number of false determinations due to a certain determination factor tends to increase, the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 stores the same information in the new authenticity determination level correspondence table 215 as that determination factor. It is also possible to change the setting so that the deposit new authenticity determination level 2152 or the withdrawal new authenticity determination level 2153 corresponding to the reject determination factor 2151 becomes stricter.

For example, if the number of false determinations due to “thickness abnormality” among the determination factors included in the past transaction data 212 tends to decrease, the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 determines a new authenticity determination level correspondence table. It is also possible to change the deposit new authenticity determination level 2152 and the withdrawal new authenticity determination level 2153 corresponding to “thickness abnormality” in the rejection determination factor 2151 of 215 from “L4” to “L5”. In this way, it is possible to judge the authenticity of banknotes more in line with the current operation by counting the judgment factors included in the acquired past transaction data and setting the authenticity judgment level after grasping the tendency Become.

Furthermore, in the present embodiment, the rejection determination factor 2151 of the above-described new authenticity determination level correspondence table 215 has been described on the assumption that it is set in advance by an administrator or the like. For example, the rejection determination factor 2151 Are set after classifying them into factors (for example, inclination, thickness abnormality) and other factors (for example, dirt, holes) caused by the outside (customer side). If the number of times of false determination is large due to the factor caused by the payment, the deposit new authenticity determination level 2152 and the withdrawal new authenticity determination level 2153 corresponding to the reject determination factor 2151 are collected as in the case described above. It is also possible to change the setting. On the other hand, if the number of false determinations is small due to a factor attributable to the apparatus, the authentication level determination unit 231 determines the receipt / authentication level 2152 or the withdrawal corresponding to the rejection determination factor 2151. It is also possible to change the setting so that the new authenticity determination level 2153 becomes strict. In this way, the rejection determination factor 2151 is divided into the device-side factor and the other external (customer-side) factor, and then the deposit new authenticity determination level 2152 and the withdrawal new authenticity corresponding to the reject determination factor 2151 are obtained. By setting the determination level 2153 according to the number of false determinations, the frequency of false determinations due to factors other than the customer side can be reduced, and the troublesomeness for customers can be reduced.

It should be noted that when the authenticity determination level is set according to the number of times of false determination due to an external factor, it is desirable to set it in consideration of the operation mode of the automatic teller machine 100. The reason for this is that, for example, an automated cash transaction apparatus that is operated exclusively for deposit transactions at stores, etc. is attributed to the outside compared to an automated cash transaction apparatus that is operated as a recycling transaction for deposit and withdrawal transactions at convenience stores. This is because it is considered that there is a high probability that banknotes having a factor (for example, dirt, holes) are handled. Therefore, when the new authenticity determination level correspondence table 215 is provided for each operation form of the automatic teller machine, even if the same rejection determination factor 2151 is used, the operation form is operated as compared with the automatic teller machine in which the operation form is dedicated to depositing. For the automatic teller machine whose form is recycled, an authenticity judgment level is set appropriately. Thus, by setting the authenticity determination level in accordance with the operation mode of the automatic teller machine, it is possible to determine the authenticity of the banknote according to the current operation.

When the rejection determination factor 2151 is classified into the above-described factors, it is also possible to set the deposit bill acceptance target rate 2142 and the withdrawal bill acceptance target rate 2143 according to the number of times false judgment is made based on the classified factor. It is. For example, when the number of times that the authenticity determination level determination unit 231 is determined to be a fake ticket by the apparatus-side rejection determination factor 2151 is large, the deposit bill acceptance target rate 2142 and the withdrawal bill acceptance target rate 2143 are decreased. Change the setting. As described above, when a false determination is made due to factors other than the customer side, by setting the deposit bill acceptance target rate 2142 and the withdrawal bill acceptance target rate 2143 according to the number of times, as in the case described above. The frequency of false determinations due to factors other than the customer side can be reduced, and the troublesomeness for the customer can be reduced.

Further, in this embodiment, the rejection determination factor 2151 is set in common for the deposit transaction and the withdrawal transaction, but when there is a factor that occurs only during the deposit transaction (or during the withdrawal transaction). It is also possible to set a rejection determination factor 2151 for each of these transactions. In this case, a more flexible operation of the automatic teller machine 100 is possible.

Note that the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment as it is, and can be embodied by modifying the constituent elements without departing from the scope of the invention in the implementation stage. For example, without causing the automatic cash handling apparatus 100 and the host apparatus 200 to communicate with each other through the communication line N, the functions of the host apparatus 200 are provided in each of the automatic cash handling apparatuses 100, thereby resetting the above-described authenticity level. It is also possible to perform. In this case, the authenticity level can be reset more directly without performing the processing in step S701 and the processing in step S705 shown in FIG.

Also, setting the authenticity determination level according to the change in the rejection determination factor when viewed in the above-mentioned time series, classifying the rejection determination factor into the factor on the device side and other factors, and setting the authenticity determination level Variations such as setting the authenticity determination level according to the operation mode, setting the banknote acceptance target rate according to the number of times of false determination due to the classified factors, and the like In this case, the troublesomeness for the customer can be reduced while making it possible to determine the authenticity of the banknote in accordance with the current operation.
